How Wikipedia Works/Appendix E

This book is dependent on thousands of pages of documentation for Wikipedia, MediaWiki, and Wikimedia Foundation operations that have been written by members of the Wikimedia community over the years. In this appendix, per the terms of the GFDL that both Wikipedia and this book are licensed under, we list the Wikipedia pages that we have quoted or paraphrased and the images from Wikipedia that we have used. These do not reflect all of the ideas in this work, many of which are our interpretation of Wikipedia policies and practices, or all of the links given in the "Further Reading" sections in this book.

The citations below list a link to the Wikipedia page, permanent link to the version used, and the top five contributors to the page (not including bots or IP addresses), as measured by a tool designed by User:Aka and available at http://vs.aka-online.de/cgi-bin/wppagehiststat.pl.

Some of the earliest history of policy pages that were begun prior to late 2001 has been lost due to technical problems. Many of the ideas behind the core content and behavioral policies were developed by early community members not cited here.
